The room climate is mainly influenced by the temperature (C°), the relative humidity (RH, relative humidity in %) and the CO2 content (in ppm, parts per million) in the air. This product range shows how a comfortable room climate with a reduced energy consumption can be achieved with low investment measures. 2 Quality of the room climate / Measures for an improved room climate and energy consumption with low investments Quality of the room climate Our well being is influenced by the ambient air temperature to a high degree. This temperature can be adjusted to requirements of comfort and low energy consumption by using room temperature controllers in conjunction with hydraulically balanced radiators and surface heating and cooling systems. Also the temperature-dependent ambient air humidity (RH) influences our well being. Both, ambient air temperature and humidity, can be displayed in a comfort diagram (see illustration 1). The water vapour absorption capacity of the air is determined by the RH value. Moisture damages, for instance on cold outer walls, may occur if this value is exceeded over a longer period. Excessive water vapour can be expelled by ventilating the room. This way, moisture damages can be avoided. The frequency of airing depends on the outside temperature but a RH value of 65% should not be exceeded. After all, the quality of the room climate is influenced by the carbon dioxide content (CO2) to a high degree. 100 uncomfortably humid Relative ambient air humidity (%) 90 80 70 60 comfortable 50 40 30 still comfortable 20 uncomfortably dry 10 0 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 Ambient air temperature (°C) Ambient air temperature Air exchange rate 1 1/h * Shock ventilation Basic airing * Exchange of the ambient air volume per hour Cooling down Heating up CO2-concentration in the ambient air Time “Pettenkofer” limit*) Shock ventilation 28 Measures for an improved room climate and energy consumption with low investments Heat losses caused by room airing cannot be avoided completely as a minimum of airing must be ensured. For this reason, the Energy Saving Directive prescribes a minimum air exchange rate of 0.6-0.7h-1 which can be reached with the help of different airing measures. Window airing constitutes a very simple measure. Air exchange rates up to 15 h-1 can be reached by opening the window completely and an improvement of the ambient air quality is already reached after a few minutes. As little energy as possible should be wasted during airing. This objective is supported by the display of the CO2 and RH values and their allocation for an optimum indoor climate. The following values are defined in the guideline VDI 6022-3: CO2 ≤ 1000 ppm (“Pettenkofer” limit) RH about 30…65% Once the measured value is again within the recommended range, window airing can be terminated. Warming up of the fresh air is now the main task of the heating system. The heat which is stored in the walls of the room and the interior furnishing is retained to a large extent. When combining room temperature control and the above airing measures, much more energy can be saved than in systems in which the climate values are ignored. 1 Simplified illustration of the comfort zone defined by the ambient air humidity and the room temperature 2 Effects of window airing on the room temperature and the CO2 content in the ambient air (example). *) The “Pettenkofer” limit is a value referring to the CO2 concentration in the ambient air. When this value is exceeded, the ambient air becomes inferior as a result and fatigue phenomena occur. Indoor, a value of 1000 ppm (parts per million) is acceptable. Outdoor concentration Time 2 3 “i-Tronic” Climate display device Oventrop offers the climate display device “i-Tronic” or the climate display device/control “R-Tronic” for the improvement of the room climate. “i-Tronic” Climate display device “i-Tronic TFC” is a climate meter monitoring the important room climate parameters: - room temperature (°C) - relative humidity RH (%) - carbon dioxide CO2 (ppm) The climate meter shows the current measured values. The improvement of the indoor climate quality through airing is directly visible. Thus, the user can carry out the airing periods on an energy-saving basis. The use of the climate meter “i-Tronic TFC” is an especially energy-saving and low-investment measure for achieving a good and healthy indoor climate. 1 Example “i-Tronic TFC” with table stand 1 4 “i-Tronic” Climate display device Models Product System Description “i-Tronic TFC” Climate meter with integrated sensor for display of the PERATUR E EM UMIDIT RH Y AI PERATUR E EM UMIDIT RH Y AI C UMIDIT RH Y AI N DIOX BO ID AR C T PERATUR E EM T Item no. 1150683 N DIOX BO ID AR N DIOX BO ID AR E “i-Tronic TFC” T Power supply via an external flush-mounted power pack (100-240V∼/50-60 Hz), with wall bracket.

A maximum of three actuators “Aktor MH/MD CON B” can be teached in on one “R-Tronic”. For a mobile quick access via the internet up to 16 wireless thermostats can be teached in on the centre “Synet CR” (see page 10). All settings are easily made with the wireless thermostat and the system status is displayed. Adjustable nominal temperatures and time profiles facilitate an optimum room temperature control. Depending on the model, the climate control additionally displays the air humidity and the CO2 concentration. These values can then be influenced directly (e. g. by airing). Models: - “R-Tronic RT B”: Wireless thermostat with actuator “Aktor MH/MD CON B” for the room temperature control with timer functions. - “R-Tronic RTF B”: as “R-Tronic RT B”, but additionally with integrated humidity sensor and display of the relative humidity RH in %. - “R-Tronic RTFC K”: as “R-Tronic RTF B”, but additionally with CO2 sensor and display of the CO2 concentration in ppm. If there is excessive CO2 concentration, airing information is displayed. 1 Installation example “R-Tronic RTFC K” 1 ° C 1 6 E AI UMIDI TY R H C P E R AT U R % A RB ON DIOX ID E M TE ppm “R-Tronic” Climate display device/control Models Product System Description T PERATUR E EM T “R-Tronic RT B” Wireless thermostat with actuator “Aktor MH CON B” for - room temperature control with timer functions.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rainer Hirschberg (publicly appointed and sworn expert for heating, ventilation/air-conditioning and sanitary technology) outlines these advantages in the study - Energetic evaluation of the room control “R-Tronic” - amongst others for residential areas in residential buildings. The essential statements of the study are: 1. Air quality The “R-Tronic RTFC K” measures the CO2 concentration and displays an exceedance of the presettable limit value. Thus, the user notices the necessity to ventilate the room to maintain the air quality. At the same time, a shortfall in the limit value signals the user to terminate airing. (Illustration 1 shows the temporal development of the CO2 concentration when using the “R-Tronic RTFC K”.) For classification of the CO2 values as indicator for the air quality, the “exceedance index” has established itself. It is the product of the exceedance average value (medium CO2 concentration in ppm less reference value 1500 ppm) and the excess frequency (time share in % based on the whole period considered – 24h – during which the CO2 concentration is higher than the reference value). (Illustration 2 shows the exceedance index in ppm · % for a residential area with a basic air exchange n=0.6 1/h.) It is obvious that with a correct application of the “R-Tronic RTFC K” with values less than 1000 ppm · % (see page 3) an optimum air quality relating to the CO2 concentration can be achieved. 2. Energy saving The control concept of the “R-Tronic RTFC K” (i. e. wireless thermostat and actuator are separated) excludes the heating medium temperature effect. The study could determine a value for the expenses which is far below the value according to DIN V 18599-10 for PI regulators with optimization function. The study shows that approx. 29.1 % of the energy can be saved compared to e. g. standard thermostats directly mounted on radiators in existing buildings.
